Detect name of player and select the box

[bullkanox 5]

Hi, i need to know if i can detect what player is executing the script, and then depending of the name of the player send it to the box. thanks for support!!!

 

 

_fnc_group = [["player_1", box_1], ["player_2", box_2]];
_fnc_select = (_fnc_group select 0) select 1;

 

if (cash< 100) then
{
  hint "no money to buy this!"
} else {
  cash = cash - 100;
  _fnc_select addWeaponCargoGlobal ["rhs_weap_m4a1_blockII_bk", 1];
  _fnc_select addMagazineCargoGlobal ["rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_Mk318_Stanag", 1];
  hintSilent parseText format["<t color='#00FF3C'>thanks for for you buy</t>"];
  };

You are in multiplayer and you want to work on a cash variable and some equipment for the player.

So, just work in the initPlayerLocal.sqf which is a specific script (add it into the mission root if not already present).

With this script, cash and equipment will concern the player only.

To "couple" a box with a player:

- you can spawn the box in this initPlayerLocal.sqf. So the box is identified locally and you just have to fill this box. There is nothing more to do;

- or place in advance as much boxes as playable units, name them box1, box2... and add them as a variable attached to the player:

   * in init field of playable units: this setVariable ["mybox",box1];   (and so on...)

   * in initPlayerLocal:

     _myBox = player getVariable "mybox"; // now you refer to the right box.

Thanks Pierremgi for your support.

I continue trying to solve how I could get to solve my idea and I get to do the following code and I work! [Google translate =)]

 

_fnc_grupo = [[p1, p2], [stash_1, stash_2]];
_fnc_buscar_player = (_fnc_grupo select 0) find player; // search 1° group array / result: p1 (work)
_fnc_buscar_gabinete = (_fnc_grupo select 1) select _fnc_buscar_player; // search 2° group / Result: Stash_1 (work)

 

if (dinero < 100) then
{
  hint "No tienes el dinero suficiente para comprar esto!"
} else {
  dinero = dinero - 100;
  _fnc_buscar_gabinete addWeaponCargoGlobal ["rhs_weap_m4a1_blockII_bk", 1];
  _fnc_buscar_gabinete addMagazineCargoGlobal ["rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_Mk318_Stanag", 1];
  hintSilent parseText format["<t color='#00FF3C'>Gracias por tu compra</t>"];
};

You need to store the cash on the player object.

As of right now dinero is a global variable and the same for all players if it's a public variable.

_dinero = _fnc_buscar_player getVariable ["MyDineros",0];
systemchat format ["%1 has %2 dineros!",_dinero]; //will return 0
-------------------------------------
_dinero = _fnc_buscar_player setVariable ["MyDineros",1500];
_dinero = _fnc_buscar_player getVariable ["MyDineros",0];
systemchat format ["%1 has %2 dineros!",_dinero]; //will return 1500

Handle the dineros like that, not like a global variable.

 

Cheers
